  • Lakes in Relation to Geological Features 505
    LAKES IN RELATION TO GEOLOGICAL FEATURES 505 Eilean Subhainn, is U-shaped, the deepest portion occurring where the valley is most constricted, between Ben Slioch (3217 feet) on the north and Meall a' Ghubhais (2882 feet) on the south. Between Regoilachy and Coppachy the effect of a branch fault in weakening the strata is shown by the widening of the basin and the loop of the 250-ft. contour line in that portion of the lake. The Ardlair basin, beyond the islands, is a composite one. The north-west portion, north of Rudh' Aird an Anail, is situated in the line of the great shatter-belt, and is U-shaped; but the wider and deeper part of the same basin, lying between that promontory and Eilean Ruairidh M6r, is evidently due to the removal of comparatively weak strata, consisting of the lowest division of the Torridon Sand- stone, from the old floor of Lewisian Gneiss on which it was deposited. The Slattadale basin rests in Torridonian strata, belonging partly to the Applecross grits and partly to the weaker beds of the Diabaig group. A striking feature of this part of the lake is the number and size of the islands, which are composed mostly of massive Torridon sandstones and grits. One of these, Eilean Subhainn, contains a rock-basin 64 feet in depth. The river Ewe, which drains the loch, has cut a channel through the 'deposits of the 50-ft. raised beach, and runs for about half a mile over Torridonian strata before entering the sea. Loch Maree evidently extended farther up the valley, but it has been silted up by the streams that converge near Kinlochewe.

  • 37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 37 Foinaven - Ben Hee Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2017 Context This large Wild Land Area (WLA) extends 569 km2 across north west Sutherland, extending from the peatlands of Crask in the south east to the mountain of Foinaven in the north west. The northern half of the WLA mainly comprises a complex range of high mountains in addition to a peninsula of lower hills extending towards Durness. In contrast, the southern half of the WLA includes extensive peatlands and the isolated mountain of Ben Hee. One of a cluster of seven WLAs in the north west of Scotland, flanked by main (predominantly single track) roads to the north, west and south, it is relatively distant from large population centres. The geology of the area has a strong influence on its character. Along the Moine Thrust Belt that passes through the north west, rocky mountains such as Foinaven and Arkle are highly distinctive with their bright white Cambrian quartzite and scree, with little vegetation. The geological importance of this area is recognised by its inclusion within the North West Highlands Geoparki. Land within the WLA is used mainly for deer stalking and fishing and, except for a few isolated estate lodges and farms, is uninhabited. Many people view the area from outside its edge as a visual backdrop, particularly when travelling along the A838 between Lairg and Laxford Bridge and Durness, and along the A836 between Lairg and Altnaharra, through Strath More, and around Loch Eriboll. The mountains within this WLA typically draw fewer hillwalkers than some other areas, partly due to the lack of Munros.
